PhD in France: Multiscale Approach to Deviatoric Stress and Phase Equilibrium

The University of Poitiers invites applications for a fully funded doctoral research position focusing on the intersection of geodynamics, physics, and material phase equilibria. The successful candidate will employ multiscale modeling techniques to quantify how deviatoric stress influences mineral and rock phase behavior under geological conditions. This role is hosted within a dynamic academic environment, requiring rigorous analytical investigation, independent scientific inquiry, and active collaboration with research peers. The candidate is expected to produce high-impact publications and successfully complete a doctoral dissertation within the designated timeframe.

• Develop and apply multiscale computational models to examine phase equilibrium under deviatoric stress conditions.
• Analyze complex thermodynamic and physical datasets relating to geodynamic processes.
• Collaborate with research team members to integrate experimental findings with theoretical frameworks.
• Prepare scientific manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed international journals.
• Present research findings at relevant academic conferences and symposia.
